Browser comparison
Everything they block.
And then some.
Aekant blocks ads and trackers with your own custom rules, gives every page load a brand-new fingerprint, and keeps each identity in its own container — on an engine that isn’t Chromium. Here’s how that compares.
Side by side
Seven browsers.
One that does it all.
Only the features where browsers genuinely differ — everyone already supports HTTPS and the major desktops.

vsSwitching from Chrome?
Chrome is made by the world’s biggest advertising company. Aekant is made to stop the tracking that pays for it: ads and trackers gone from the moment you install, a new fingerprint on every page, and every identity in its own container — on an engine Google doesn’t control.

vsSwitching from Edge?
Edge’s tracking prevention is a start. Aekant finishes the job — real ad blocking, your own filter rules, a fingerprint that changes on every page, and containers that keep work, banking and personal life apart in a single window.

vsSwitching from Brave?
Love Brave Shields? Aekant has all of it — ads, trackers, custom filters, cross-site cookies, script blocking — and goes further: a fingerprint that changes on every page load, containers with their own tunnels, and an engine that isn’t Chromium. Tor-powered private windows are coming soon.
Aekant vs Brave
vsSwitching from Firefox?
Aekant takes the Gecko engine Firefox users trust and builds in everything Firefox leaves to add-ons — ad blocking, custom rules, a new fingerprint on every page, and first-class containers. Nothing to install, nothing to configure.
Aekant vs Firefox
vsSwitching from Safari?
Safari’s privacy stops at Apple hardware. Aekant brings built-in ad blocking, a new fingerprint on every page and separate containers to every desktop you use — Mac, Windows and Linux alike.

vsSwitching from Tor?
Tor Browser asks you to trade speed and everyday convenience for privacy. Aekant doesn’t: ads and trackers blocked, a new fingerprint on every page and isolated containers — at full speed, with Tor-powered private windows coming soon.
